Refer to the specifications to find out about the configuration of the computer.

### IEEE 802.11a (Frequency band:5 GHz)

Exclusive to models compliant with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard.

### IEEE 802.11b/g (Frequency band:2.4 GHz)

The IEEE 802.11g standard provides higher-speed communications than the IEEE 802.11b.

### IEEE 802.11n (Frequency band:2.4 GHz/5 GHz)
